"Have your seat". Mrs. Brown said as Xayne entered into the office.
She sat on one of the chairs and turned to her.
Mrs. Brown finished writing whatever she was engrossed in and raised her head up clearing her throat.
"You asked me to see you if I can recollect".
"I did Miss Cruz, I mean Xayne".
"Sorry if I acted a little bit rude when you um....".
"I understand, it's alright".
"So here I am ". She muttered raising her hands up.
"We need to talk Xayne".
"Alright......".
"About your life".
"Hish! I hate that part".
"It's important so you don't get to regret in future and get to wish you had done the right thing". Mrs. Brown said taking off her spec.
"The future is nothing near, I'm eighteen, does that ring a bell?".
"Big bell, I understand how it feel to be eighteen, it's actually one of the best feeling".
"For you Mrs. Brown,My parents died a day to my eighteenth birthday, does it sound cool?".
"No it doesn't, sorry to ask but how did it happen".
"I hope you realize you're reviving the pain".
"Sorry is meant to relieve pain, a reason I added it". Mrs. Brown said and she smiled.
"Alright, we were returning from I think vacation at Nabraska, it was dark already and my mom had taken over the steering from my father". She said and bite her lower lips as she looked down.
"I didn't know how it happened because I had my eyes closed, I wanted to take a nap, I could hear my dad warning mom of a fog ahead, all that happened next was the vehicle hit something and it went somersaulting over and over and over and over.... ". Xayne kept repeating until she burst into tears.
" Hey it's alright ". Mrs. Xayne said cleaning her tears with her handkerchief.
" I can't say how it happened, Mom drives better than Dad, I don't still understand how and why she would drift out of the road into the woods".
"We can't explain accidents sometimes Xayne, they just happen in the twinkle of a eye, in a snap lives are gone, that's the world we live him, you said you were in the vehicle? ". She asked.
"I survived, I didn't know what happened but I remembered hearing the siren of an ambulance, I remembered........".
Xayne paused for a while and raised her head up.
"I woke up at the hospital and thought my parents survived as well but I was wrong, I was devastated to find out they were both gone, it sounded like a dream but it was beginning of the big bad nightmare in my life, I couldn't sleep, closing my eyes I see the accident happen over and over again like I was there again in flesh and blood ". She explained trying to hold her tears.
" It happens dear, that's what make us human, the emotion we feel when we lose the once we love, the pain as a result of your strong core connection to them, you've gone through alot Xayne and I see that but you can't let the trauma keep eating you up, you have to move on ".
" I can't, I can't, I planned everyday of my life, every future with them in the picture and now that they're out of the picture, it's me alone ".
"No, circumstances change the future Xayne but it's then your responsibility to change and blend into the future, imagine your parent are watching you right now and seeing their only daughter taking her education like it's some piece of crap".
"Don't act like you know my parent". Xayne said angrily.
"That's what people who lose their parents say, you can never be nothing close to what they are, they are irreplaceable". Mrs. Brown mentioned and took a deep breath.
"Listen, your parent will be proud of you if you do what you would had done if they were alive, succeed". She whispered.
"I want to go into part time boxing, Mrs. Brown".
"I know that already, I was there last night".
"Really? You were at the Contra Stadium".
"I was, boxing is not your calling Xayne, you're just a high school kid not some street kid who's been fighting all her life".
"I'm starting to wonder when you switched to the discouragement path cos you were encouraging me to face the future, make momma and papa proud".
"Yes but education, the boxing part can come later".
"Thats the only way I let my aggression out, that's the only way I feel better and stop myself from being a psychotic maniac". She announced raising her hands up.
Mrs. Brown stared blankly at her and wore her spec again.
"Why the stares or you haven't heard of psychotic maniac before, I put the right combination right?".
"Am just wondering how the Xayne I knew turned over night, your were one of the best students here, words can't your rate of assimilation or your incredible retention skill, you could literally remember a lot of things but all that is changed... ".
" Because my anchors are gone ". Xayne sang.
" That's were you get it wrong, you own your life and you control it, not circumstances like your parents death, you now pretend like you know nothing Xayne, simple questions you refuse to answer, if that continues it might become reality, if you don't use that brain it might go dumb someday ".
" Thanks for your time Mrs. Brown ". Xayne said raising to get feet.
" As much as I hate to say this I love crazy jokes so don't take it personal ". She said pushing the chair back to it position.
" Your words are warming and I suggest you go for part time Motivational speaking or therapy ". Xayne said and she smiled.
"I know your type Xayne, when big brains like you go off the path, it quite difficult to get back on track because that stunning brain of yours gives you convincing reasons not to".
"I'll take my leave right away, bye". Xayne replied and left the office.
Tears formed in her eyes as she leaned against the door.
"Breath".
"Breath, Xayne". She added.
"Yo you look stressed out". She heard a voice and opened her eyes to see the blurry image her teary eyes produced for her.
She cleaned her tears to see the Chubby dude in front of her.
"Did he break up with you, that's so crazy, how can anyone in their right sense leave an angel like you". He complimented.
"Dear Mr I seek broken girls can you disappear, I mean vanish out of sight ".
" I don't get you listen I notice you move alone, lonely girl but I can be a friend alright, we can even hit a boutique right now ". He said raising his hands up.
" There are lot of irritating mini devils in this damn school ". She cursed walking away.
" Hey ". He said trying to catch up with her.
She stopped abruptly and turned back.
" Did you watch the Zack Snyder's Justice League? ". She asked and his face brightened.
" Yeah of course, you must be a DC fan, nice to meet you". He said laughing.
"Did you get to see how Diana beheaded Steppenwolf?". She asked.
"Um yes, the scene was epic, I love that part, we could watch the movie together, I'll buy the tickets, bills on me".
"If you don't want to end up like Steppenwolf, stay away from me". She threatened and walked away.
"Damn! Deadly girls at Luna High um Diana.. Steppen... What the fvck is her name again".

Xayne entered into the classroom and sat beside Celeste who has a headset on.
"Oh baby C'mon!". She sang loudly and took it off.
"Hey, how did it go?".
"I spent almost an hour there".
"I'm asking you to summarize not full story".
"In conclusion, I can't remember".
"Geez! I'm gonna take you to a psychiatrist, first thing tomorrow morning read my lips".
"What lips? The one you use to kiss Jake or Lake what was his name again?".
"It's Jake, that's the past".
"I caught you In the restroom, were you gonna make out there? ".
"Just shut up!". Celeste said covering her mouth.
"He's my boyfriend so I can do whatever and wherever.... ".
" Just cut the crap, I think i need some air ".
" Mmmm".
"I got your keys, I'm going out". She said raising it up.
"Seriously? how did you?".
"When you're engrossed in the fantasy of remembering your kiss in the restroom, I'll be back". She said walking away.
"Do you want to die?". Celeste called following her.
"Maybe.. I'll bring your car in one piece so no fear, baby".
"Don't call me baby, You're still a learner who's gonna trash my vehicle into a... Let's talk about you wanna die?".
"I just need some air outside school, okay".
"Then let's go there". Celeste said taking the keys from her.
"No Celeste this is my cause not yours".
"Try and stop me then ". She said walking away.
Xayne waited for a while before moving out to meet Celeste.
She got into the Ferrari Dino 246 GTS and exhaled as the door closed.
"You think anyone saw us". Celeste asked.
"You shouldn't come Celeste".
"I'm your friend, so we're in everything together".
"Can you now see why you'll never find someone like me?". Xayne inquired.
"Nope". She replied starting the ignition.
She drove off speedily out of the school and into the the highway.
.

The Vehicle stopped by the side of the road which was opposite the woods and the girls alight from it..
"Here we are again at the accident site". Celeste said raising her hands up.
"I feel comfort whenever I come down here, it feels like their spirits are here".
"You mean ghost, we come here almost thrice every week".
"How long did it take you to get over your mom's death ".
" Months, after months of trauma, worst moment in my life ".
" I don't still understand what we ran into? ". Xayne said looking around.
" You need to stop getting yourself crazy Xayne ". Celeste said and someone in a hood appeared behind them after moving from a tree.
They both turned back at same time but saw no one.
" I saw something ". Celeste said.
" I saw the shadow". Xayne said looking around.
"It was right there". She added.
"C'mon girl". Celeste said pulling her away.
"Don't you think it's a Ghost, maybe it's my parent and they want to speak to me".
"A good reason you're gonna see a psychiatrist first thing tomorrow". She and pushed her into the car.
The hoodie person appeared from behind a tree watching them again but as soon as Celeste turned back after closing the door he wasn't there anymore.
Her eyes scanned around the woods before moving to the driver's seat.
She starts the ignition and drove off speedily.
There on the top of the tree was same person in a hood standing at ease on the branch as he watched the vehicle drove away.
The Ferrari Dino 246 GTS arrived back at school and they both alighted from the vehicle."There was something out there". Celeste said as she closed the door."Maybe". Xayne replied and sat on the bonnet."You really believe it's your parent's ghost?"."Maybe I watch paranormal movies almost that have messed with my head or it's truely their ghost or we're both crazy"."Strike out that option three"."And I'll strike option two as well cos maybe those things don't exist". Xayne said."We're left with option one or add one more, you're Crazy"."Yep but I prefer psychotic maniac"."You're becoming something these days". Celeste said as the returned the key to her pocket."C'mon we just returned from an outing, selfie mode". Xayne said as she stood on the bonnet."Seriously? I'm not in the mood to". Celeste said."Okay, Photographer then". She said stretching out her Sa
There was a large crowd of students as Celeste pulled Xayne away from them.She was bleeding from the nose and her hairs were scattered which made it obvious that she just finished fighting."Let her, C'mon". The 12th grade student screamed trying to break free from those who held her.Her lips were swollen and her clothes pretty messed up."Just stop treating me like a baby". Xayne said angrily as she broke from Celeste's grip."You just finished fighting Xayne"."And maybe you shouldn't have stopped me?"."Look at yourself Xayne, you're pretty messed up, you should have just let me go do the damn thing"."You shouldn't get to act like a weakling, who is she to command us to move an ordinary trolley, She's a bitch, a fvcking one". Xayne roared."Hey just stop the aggression thing, let's go home".Jake, Celeste's boyfriend caught up with them and exhaled."I hope you're alright".
It was a beautiful morning as the sun rose brightly from the east.Xayne turned to the other side of the bed as its ray pierced into her eyes.The alarm on the cabinet loudly and she groaned."Not again". She cursed slapping it to stop.Then that unannounced horn of a vehicle caused her jolt up almost diving out of the window."Celeste!". She screamed out her voice raging for the window.That was her everyday life, it was like every starting event was the same.The rising of the sun to the alarm and then Celeste horn.She pulled up the blind and stared dagger from above."Yo Xayne, bright beautiful morning". Celeste announced and closing her eyes inhaled the fresh breeze."Do you want to die?". Xayne roared."Just spend your one hour, it's time for school". She said and opened the door of the vehicle."It's Saturday you book psycho!". She cursed."That
Celeste and Xayne could be seen walking beside the road in a staggery motion."I always had plans to kill you Xayne but I’m gonna do it today".Celeste sang loudly."I am dead already'.She replied."How the hell did you leave home without a penny else we would board a cab"."We had a vehicle".Xayne replied."We?,that's ridiculous cos someone just stole it because of you"."I hope you now believe cute dudes are deadly?".She asked."Stop making excuses,you were so lost in him that you did'nt see him steal it"."Can we stop talking please?,the percent of my strength left is just one"."i'll grab a drink then with the $2 left in me"."You got $2 dollars?"."Sometimes we need to punish ourselves for our mistakes"."Welcome to the psych
"Where have you been?". Celeste asked as Xayne returned to the table."I told you I was off to the restroom". Xayne replied and sat."It's been almost twenty minutes"."Seriously Celeste, you now calculate the time?"."Ahem". Mirabel said and they turned to her."You two must be really... Let's forget that. So where were we?". She asked."Um...."."I asked how many match you've won if I can remember". She said."Yes, that's right and I replied non"."I think you guys have spoken past that point already". Celeste cuts in."Do your parent know about this path you've taken?". She inquired."Maybe we should just skip that question part to the main deal". Xayne said."Is anything wrong?". Mirabel asked."She's not comfortable with such....."."They're gone, ain't they?".Xayne exhaled trying to contain the heat in her.""I
Celeste raced out of the house as a Ferrari Dino 246 GTS came to halt in front of the building."Oh my goodness, tell me this is dream". She screamed aloud and Xayne got down closing the girl.Celeste hugged her tightly not ready to let go of her."Don't suffocate me please". She begged and Celeste let go of her."How did you do it?". She inquired."Like I promised, I killed him"."Stop the joke, Celeste, I should actually ask how you found him instead"."I'm Xayne, I always find my way out". She sang."We both know things don't add up, Xayne, there's something you ain't telling me"."Kicked his ass, got the key and zoom"."You're not a good lier Xayne, I have known you for a long time already"."Alright, Alright, Fine but promise you will never use it to make fun of me and no one, I repeat no one will ever know about it"."Um... What could that be, did you f
"You might actually think your main aim in the game is knock the fvck outta your opponent but i'll say defense".Mirabel said as she moved around Xaynewho was breathing heavily while hugging the punching bag."Defense?".She inquired."Yeah.Its one thing to attack and its another to defend but many peopledepend on the attack"."I attack".Xayne said."That's the problem,Attack,you keep on attacking but don't defend"."You then lose your guard".Mirabel added."So you actually mean i should concentrate more on my defense?".Xayne asked."Exactly.I noticed you've been punching the bag with no defense from you"."The fvcking bag isn't punching me back,it's inanimate ".Xayne argued."I know that but whatever you do here is a replica of what you do in the ring".&n
He quickly covered her mouth with his palm pinning her against the wall."Shhh".She struggled with him pinching him with her nails all over but he wasn't ready to let go.Xayne bite his palm till he bled but he was still stubborn."Shhh". His soft lips warned again.He opened the door with one of his hands and pushed her out immediately.Xayne wondered what was going on when she saw five men in front of her." Um... This is a female restroom please". She said covering her cleavage with her hands."He's here". One of them said."Um excuse me, you heard me loud and clear right?"."His scent is all over her". The other man said and they moved slowly toward her."Um I might have to call the guards". She said and the door of the enclosed room opened.A hand pulled her in and the door shut close."Who the fvck are you?". She roared turning bac
